ss River junction in s move threatening rapidly to complete the envelosment of the 300,000-mon German assault army at Stalingrad. .

A special soviet communique, the fourth in four mya. announced also that the Nazi foil in dead and captured now stood at 08.000. and another 140,000 Germans have been

wounded in the bloody battle of the Don River Bond. The Russian axmies occupied

Novomaximovsky and Btarronsxim- ovsky at the junction of the Dori and Chir Rivers, d6 miles south- west of Stalingrad. the communique said, without detailing the sig- nificance of this advance.

This indicated one of two de- velopments. Either the Russ-an army which struck across the Don River at Serafhnovich on the north side of the Bend penetrated clear across that strsgetic elbow to the southern side, or the Rod army column driving down the Stal niIrod-Novorossisk railroad had turned northward to link up with the upper Soviet army.

Held dispatches ad reported only u 30-mile gap remained to be closed in the Don elbow to encircle the Nazi Stalingrad armies. ‘These reports preceded the issuance of the latest special communique, which did not give the new miicase rolled u by the Soviet offensive begun ov. 10.

1 st Army 0n . Verge 0f Big Offensive

I . Axis Making Great Efforts To H o I d Bridgehead In Tun- lSlfl. By BLAKE SULLIVAN Associated Press Staff Writer

‘LONDON, NW. 25- (AP) -—'l‘he grand Allied assault on Tunis and Bizerte is about to be launched by the force of British Lh-Gen. Ken- neth Anderson. the Morocco Radio announced tonight, while Amari- csn and Britt-m planes in relays pounded Axis hotbeds over the whole ‘Ihinisian battleground.

The Morocco Radio declared that Anderson, loader of the British 1st Army and s. supporting force of Americans, is on the verge of be- ginning e, large-scale offensive. It said further that his forces had once more thrown back s. German column in an engagement zsmiies south of Tunis.

Make Progress

The regular communique of the Allied Force Headquarters in North Africa merely said that the British 1st Army is making satis- factory progress in operations a- gainst the enemy in eastern for- ward areas. _

The Axis poured aerial rein- forcements into Sardinia and Sic- iiv and flew trccrps to ‘Tunisia while Foreign Secretary Eden in the House oi Commons twice cm- phasired that tize battle of North Africa has reached an "extremely critical" phase. The determined efforts to rein- force . v it..p_l_ain that the Germans an Italians will try to win in Tunisia at ariv cost-even perhaps at the expense of the Russian front or the battered re- treatinlz forces in Libya, which ap- parently will be left to make what- ever stimd they can at E1 58116110- Gorman broadcasts said that their Tunisian forces had been re- inforced b armored lei-motions, mechunizc detachments and ar- tillery and that their hold on the coastal and inland highways had been strengthened. There has been ample evidence that the Germans and Italian! were reinforcing Tunisia, but there ‘have been no such reports of help for Marshal Erwin RcmmeYswenrY legions. This may be due to the difficulty in moving SWP-‘Plle! miles from Tripoli.

Planes from Russia

One indication of the IQZWNiS to which Hitler wa= going to hold I bridgehead In Africa was the f6- port of John Jorvie, Australian Correspondent. who cabled from Algiers that Axis planes raiding Allied positions were fighting at stsiirmd three weeks aeo- tdsns statement final the Brittle for Tunisia had reached an ex- trerrvlv critical prose" followed l semi-official warnirez that. the strong Axis forces should not be considered eosv prev fol‘ "he Am"-
